What this asl measures
This ASL quiz estimates self-reported familiarity with deaf community culture and visual language habits. Twenty original agree-disagree items group into deaf community norms, visual attention, spatial grammar, and interpreter etiquette with zero overlap with alphabet or fingerspelling banks. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your ASL culture literacy index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed familiarity on this screener, not interpreter certification.

Capital-D community identity and event culture.
Visual attention

| Lower ASL Culture Literacy | 0 to 35 | Gaps in ASL and deaf culture familiarity recall are common without recent ASL and deaf culture units review |
| Mixed ASL Culture Literacy | 36 to 65 | Solid recall mixed with fuzzy spots worth targeting before mock exams |
| Higher ASL Culture Literacy | 66 to 100 | Steady recall across domains; still not a substitute for proctored AP exams |
